Our daily choices; Do they really affect the way our lives are played? Something we may not think about often while loafing around at the house all day is how much our reactions and responses connect to how your day goes. Essentially, this closely relates to the banning and censorship we see in bookstores and libraries perpetually. I, myself, believe that the actions of sensitive parents who worry about the content their children read, affects the education and facts that they are learning from literature. A person's decision impacts others in an utmost way, because they provoke us to behave and act in specific ways, especially when it comes to cautious content in books and the censorship of them. To illustrate this idea and relate it to a …show more content…
Before his life of writing literature, which began in 2003 when Boy meets Boy was published, his life was fairly average, and for the most part, he was contented.

If this message is spread to parents worried about the text kids are viewing, censorship levels would decrease a great deal.

Of course, this doesn’t mean to throw 50 Shades of Grey in children’s libraries, but books that are challenged for silly reasons can be thrown in. Little ones can know more about the real world, in moderation. So let’s stop banning books for sensitive reasons and know more about the actuality of our
